Description

Rich blues and warm earth tones give this little painting a presence all its own. In “Shaman,” Penelope Bushman depicts a figure holding a slender staff, wrapped in a patterned blue garment accented with turquoise-colored beads and small touches of gold. A pale blue-gray sky meets an ochre landscape, where a simple spiral adds another detail to discover.

Textured brushwork and hand-sewn beading invite you to enjoy this miniature oil painting up close. Measuring 6" x 6", it brings color and quiet character to a small wall or a favorite grouping of artwork. Its gallery-wrapped presentation keeps the attention on the rich colors and thoughtful details.

About the Artist

A smiling woman with long red hair and blue eyes wearing a bright turquoise button-up shirt, photographed indoors against a warm-toned decorative background.

Penelope grew up surrounded by the beautiful sand dunes of northern Indiana where she began painting watercolors of the beach at a young age. She studied fine art at the Academy of Art in Chicago. After completing her training, she moved to Arizona and was inspired by the rich beauty of the southwest and its native history.

Penelope translates the ancient imagery into colorful contemporary portrayals of shamans and sentinels. She is "intrigued by the shaman figure depicted in petroglyphs for all it symbolizes: healing, wisdom and the quest for spiritual connection."

Penelope's original oil on canvas paintings display her love of color and texture. The Shamans gowns portray beautiful fabric designs and include interesting elements of texture and often hand-strung bead work.

Penelope welcomes commissions and would be delighted to create an original oil painting tailored to your preferred size and color palette.
